At Francis Douglas Memorial College,we are committed to delivering a personalised education that fosters academic excellence.
Our students consistently achieve NCEA pass rates well above the national average, reflecting our dedication to high standards and student success. With small class sizes, we provide close academic oversight, ensuring that every student receives the support they need to thrive. Live reporting keeps parents informed in real time, fostering strong partnerships between home and school. For our boarding students, structured evening study sessions offer two hours of supervised homework each night, reinforcing learning beyond the classroom.
Beyond academics, we believe a well-rounded education is essential. Whether in the classroom, the hostel, or a homestay environment, we create opportunities for students to build friendships, develop leadership skills, and explore their passions. Our co-curricular programme is rich and diverse, offering sports, music, drama, and an exceptional outdoor education experience - ensuring every student finds their place to grow, excel, and enjoy their school journey.
We welcome international students as part of our school community and offer a caring and friendly atmosphere. The presence of international students at the college enriches the school community and provides valued cultural diversity.
